Hmm, I've been left dead and gone
Down south in my momma's lawn
Problems not gone away, away
Hmm, the questions that I ask myself
I put my problems on the shelf
Problems not gone away
Stretch my arms just to get there,
Ask my lord for forgiveness
Been through hard times, it's not fair
God's above as my witness
Problems not gone, and problems not gone away
If someone could reach for me
Would anyone care?
I heard an answer,
But no one was there.
Hmm, yeah, ten miles from Satan's door
Knocking my fist to stone,
Problems not gone away.
I stretch my arms just to get there,
Ask my lord for forgiveness
Been through hard times, it's not fair
God's above as my witness
Problems not gone, and problems not gone away
If someone could reach for me
Would anyone care?
I heard an answer,
But no one was there.
